PRODUCT DETAILS

Photographer Hiro Tanaka spent 15 years
We continued to follow the artisans who have worked alongside KURO.

He toured factories all over Japan, capturing on camera the techniques and sincere handiwork that go into manufacturing there.
The track record amounts to approximately 15,000 pieces.

15 carefully selected pieces from that vast collection of records were dropped into the album.
It has been sublimated into a new form as "PHOTO TEE".

Hiro Tanaka - Photographer

I won the grand prize of a trip abroad in a lottery and went on my first trip to America.
While accompanying a band he met there on tour, he was given a camera and began taking photographs.
He has received the Cosmos Arles PDF Award (France), the TPD Book Award (Italy) and other awards at the Arles International Photography Festival. He has also been nominated or selected for the World Press Photo - Global Talent, the PhotoESPANA Book Award - Premio al mejor libro, the Kassel Dummy Award, and more.

The body of the T-shirt is made from KURO's original ROUND SHAPE TEE.
The fabric is carefully knitted on traditional circular knitting machines, and the more you wear it, the more it will become comfortable against your skin, creating a nostalgic feel.
This is a piece that has been carefully designed down to the silhouette and tension of the neckline.

About the brand

Wear the authenticity.

Wear the culture.

Uncompromising everyday wear in modern times.

KURO, founded in Tokyo in 2010, initially began as a denim brand with the purpose of merging Tokyo's dynamic energy with the high craftsmanship of Okayama denim. The brand name, KURO, meaning "black" in Japanese, reflects the subtle beauty embodied in words like black-purple, jet black, and black-brown, inspired by the color of Japanese eyes and hair. KURO’s collections are defined by the concept of "black" in Japanese, which embodies a delicate sense of refinement.

By incorporating the unique sensibilities and perceptions of the Japanese people, KURO’s creations blend modernized design with the craftsmanship inherited from artisans across Japan, carrying on history and tradition. KURO views its denim products not merely as denim but as an integral part of its identity, reflecting both culture and respect for the environment. From the development of original fabrics to the architectural elements incorporated into minimalist designs, each component fuses with the expertise of skilled Japanese craftsmen. This combination creates a timeless dignity and serene elegance that endures over time.

KURO’s journey is one of pursuing a wordless elegance that lies within not just aesthetics and materials, but also in the highest quality textiles, minimalist design, and meticulously crafted garments and denim. Our denim collection embodies this philosophy, blending understated sophistication with a modern lifestyle, resulting in designs that reflect the perspectives, ideas, and values that shape today's society.
